Of course, you can. Happy birthday, Keke!
Best wishes and blessings!
Can you read my messages here? Ok, Keke, Understood.
Let me review the image you uploaded, please.
Ok, Keke, let's solve the problem of depreciation.
Year 1: Cost of the car $ 30,000 - Depreciation = 0.18 * 30,000 = 5,400, Balance = 24,600 (30,000 - 5,400)
Part 1:
Therefore, the formula is:
• V = C − (1 − r)^t, ,where
,
• V = Value of the car after t years
,
• C = Cost of the car when it was purchased
,
• r = Depreciation rate (0.18)
,
• t = Years of usage of the car
Part 2:
Let's calculate the cost of the car after 10 years, using the formula we wrote above:
V = C * (1 − r)^t
V = 30,000 * (1 − 0.18)^10
V = 30,000 * 0.82^10
V = $ 4,123.44
Do you understand the solution?
The equation that I wrote above is the model. Highlighted and underlined.
Keke, remember you have two parts. Do you have it now?
Is it clear now?
